1933 Anti-Jewish boycott in Germany

85 years ago, on April 1, 1933, two months after Hitler came to power, a nationwide one-day boycott of Jewish businesses and shops was held in Germany at the call of the Nazis. This action was the first step towards the introduction of the racist Nuremberg Laws in 1935, to the Jewish pogroms on Kristallnacht in November 1938, and finally to the mass extermination of Jews during the Second World War.
